Down the Rabbit Hole

American Literature

American Literature is written pieces of work that are relating to the United States which I interpret the "home of the free" basically means that people are free to express themselves in writing that will stand the test of time. It also means that the piece of writing has to be meaningful, so people can relate to it or in contributes to their life like making them feel stuff or taking advice from the piece of literature.

On August 12^th, 2019 I walked into Dr. Preston’s I felt kind of glad that I got your class once again for English because last year I learned a lot of life lessons and the thinks you taught. The lessons that really stood out to me were how to improve your critical thinking, memorizing, and public speaking. I also liked when we presented our own topic that we were really intrigued by and then presented to the class.

I found it very interesting because I have never had a class where the teacher let the students pick how the class was going to be taught. I also liked when you left the room for us the students to discuss about how the class would be taught. I also payed more attention to you because of how you could relate to us because you didn’t really like the way the school taught English and how they weren’t really teaching us life skills that we would later need.

My first time doing a journal I thought that it would not just be boring but, then you introduced topic that were interesting to learn about and from then on I liked doing them especially the ones where we would write down what was on our mind as soon as we walked in the classroom and the class started. I wasn’t really feeling the blogs because I didn’t really feel comfortable with my things on line and videos I just feel weird when I see myself in a video of some sort and hear my voice. The only other thing that I can think of that has been new to me has been the recent interview that we had because I had never done something like that and I am happy that I did it because now I can practice in interviews in order to get better.

A point where I felt the most tension was probably to do one of the poetry videos because I didn’t really want to put a video of me where I saw myself and other people could see it and I was really shy to do it. But then I said to myself hey this is to build up my skills in memorization and to help me in life like to remember stuff like building an engine in a car since I want to be a mechanic.

I don’t really have a routine for doing stuff I just do it when I know its important. I have made up a few blogs that I knew were important and then went back and did them. I am a different learner than the learner that I was in August because I now know how to write better, but I still need to work on my speaking a bit and how to present myself better for an interview like adding context to my answers. I have also learned a lot of vocabulary that will help me in the future because im guessing that we will be more advanced in technological.

-Discontent is the want of self reliance

On Self Reliance (Part 4)

Self Reliance

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. 

·Do not only act good to look good do good as well

·Do not only do things just to look good but to really do good to what you are intrested in

For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.

Being like everyone else will just make you like a drone and be like everyone else but if you seperate yourself and be yourself then you will be true to yourself and not fit in because the world is about fitting in but when you are your true self then you'll feel good when you do things that are good instead of doing things that make you look good.
